If you liked the Red Queen, this is really similar. here's the real summary:
Alryn and Haven have been at war for over three centuries. Both countries consist of two types of people; the Golds, and the Blanks. In both Haven and Alryn, the Golds rule everything; the kingdoms, the towns, the Blanks. The Golds have powers. Some can fly, some are stronger than ten men, and some can even manipulate fire. There are thousands of abilities, with millions of Golds to match them. And it's all because of they're stupid eyes; the eyes that turn Gold when their powers activate. Blanks don't have powers. Blanks are ordinary people, with ordinary eyes, and ordinary attitudes, that have been trapped under a Gold boot ever since the beginning of civilization. The worst part is, if you are a Blank and don't have a job by 17, you are conscripted for war. A war that's lasted centuries, that killed Blanks by the millions, that's torn countless families to hopeless shreds. But we don't fight back. When the war first began, there was a rebellion, which made the king install the Trainers. The Trainers were Golds trained exactly for the purpose of guarding the Royal Families or oppressing the Blanks. They killed those who stepped out of line, those who tried to give hope to the Blanks, those who who tried to change things. So when the Blanks see brave people standing up for what they believe in, only to be killed, it encourages them to listen to the Trainers. The trainers are only chosen for one reason; they have two abilities. Trainers have their own ability, like any other Gold, but they also have the ability to see into the future by examining someone's mind. The Trainers keep everything in line. What would happen when both the Blanks and the Golds discover that our eyes did not separate us? I am Cassandra West, and I am the one that changed Alryn and Haven forever, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
